Bad news for Little Mary Weeper (née Huber)

Read it and wail, Little Mary:

   It would seem plausible to argue that women are the
   primary actors within the animal protection movement
   since they make up close to 80 % of the membership
   (Richards, 1990/1992; Jasper & Nelkin, 1992). Put
   differently, women have a pre-eminent standing and
   legitimacy in the movement that may eclipse that of
   their male colleagues. Yet, standing is not
   determined by sheer weight of numbers alone. Women
   always have constituted the army of grassroots
   activists in the animal movement-the handmaidens or
   “midwives” to the movement (Jasper & Nelkin, 1992,
   p. 90). Ironically, however, male philosophers,
   notably Tom Regan and Peter Singer, have
   predominated as the leading advocates of animal rights.

The entire site strongly supports the notion that the 
"ar" movement is generally peopled by women.  The 
extrapolation to urban and white is trivial.

Just prior to the passage cited above, they write 
something also very interesting:

   Much of the literature contains an implicit
   assumption that women and men vary fundamentally in
   the way they treat other life forms [Little Mary
   Weeper just said it herself!]. There is ample
   empirical evidence in every context where humans use
   or abuse animals. It is evident that men, more than
   women, work or otherwise engage in animal-oriented
   occupations and leisure activities-in factory farms,
   abattoirs, science and veterinary practice, hunting,
   shooting, trapping and fishing, rodeos, horse and
   dog racing, and a host of similar pursuits.

Of course, what they fail to mention is that a lot of 
those activities, e.g. factory farm work and abattoirs, 
are unpleasant.  Men historically have an attitude of 
just doing what needs to be done, without complaining, 
even when the task is unpleasant.  Women, particularly 
modern femi-nazi urban women, very much have an 
attitude of entitlement:  "I don't *have* to do that, 
and I won't!"  I heard a noted authority on these 
issues, Adam Corolla, say this.  He got it exactly right.

This attitude, not male discrimination against women, 
accounts for women's relatively lesser advancement in 
the business world.
